Busy professional, who is also a single father with sole custody of my son. I love to spend time showing him all the great and wonderful things life has to offer.

Here are a few things about me:

When my friend Todd (who happens to have the same birthday as me) had one item on his to do before I'm 30 list a couple days before, I made a few calls. He wanted to go skydiving, and so I invited him to go for a motorcycle ride the day after our birthday (same day, different year). We went on a back way "that I had just found out about" and when I pulled off the road he thought there was a mechanical problem. Still remember the smile on his face that day and it is closing in on ten years! Ok it was a day late, but our birthday was on a Friday that year.

As a veteran I believe that all Americans should honor our service members regardless of your views on war. I donate time to two charities that aid wounded veterans in the local area whenever possible, even involving my son sometimes.

Certified to scuba dive, sail a boat, rappel out of helicopters, and lots of other things, but still enjoy sleeping in on Sunday mornings. Someday hoping to learn fly an airplane. Don't take the above to mean I'm an adrenaline junky, far from it, but I enjoy trying new experiences including some that get the pulse racing.

I have never cheated on anyone, and never will. Expect that you have the same view. Cheating and sneaking around is disrespectful to all three people involved.

My son has a mother, and I am not expecting anyone but her to fill that role in his life. When the time is right he'll meet you, know the two of you will be instant friends.

In the morning I look in the mirror and like the person looking back, if you don't please look elsewhere. Both of us should want someone in our lives to complement each other, not complete each other (FYI, it is amazing how many profiles I see on here where people say they want someone to compliment their life,,, far different word!).

What I’m doing with my life

First and foremost, be a good father and raise my son to have good morals, values, and a great appreciation for life. Beyond that have a great appreciation for life myself and enjoy all the wonderful things that this world has to offer.

I’m really good at

Cooking (love to spend half a day prepping a great meal for friends or someone special).logic puzzles (honor graduate of a program at the NSA)Reading (I'll read just about anything, "when I was a child TV was known as books",, bonus if you know where that is from)

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

I'll read just about anything, love to get lost in a good book!I enjoy comedies, thrillers, drama, but could do without horror movies.Food (good food) is for me one of the keys to enjoying life. While I love to cook, I also have a great appreciation for a great meal out. Getting out and trying new places is something I look forward to.

The six things I could never do without

My Boy!BooksGood FoodA couple good friendsAnticipation....?

On a typical Friday night I am

Resting from the week past, and looking forward to whatever is planned for the weekend. With a six year old to entertain there is always trouble to get into somewhere in the area.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

When I watch The Big Bang Theory I keep noticing items that I own, Sheldon's hamper, Leonard's stereo... no Cylon toaster though.

You should message me if

You think we'll get along! Like most (real) people I'm much more interesting off-line! Also, due to the large number of women that have had to list "don't contact me if your just looking for sex", I'm not. I want to get to know someone and actually know that we like each other before sex comes into it. I can only imagine the garbage that is being sent that has prompted you all to list that requirement.

You agree with this statement: Age in your mind is much more important than the age on your drivers license. (I felt 30 when I was 21, and still feel 30 today!) A driver's license doesn't make you old, your attitude does..

At work every day I have to deal with over 200 emails, so in my personal life I would much rather talk on the phone. So don't be surprised that after we exchange a few messages I share my number.
